Area Scout Alex Ross was blazing a trail across Oregon last weekend as he checked out multiple games during the State Finals as well as a premium match-up of 2 of the top travel organizations in the PNW. 

Check out his notes and observations from the week...

THE ROSS REPORT

Noble Meyer, Levi Jones, Maddox Molony, Drake Gabel, River Hamilton

‘23 RHP Noble Meyer (Jesuit/Oregon)
Easy to see why he is one of the premier arms in the country. The 6’5 righthander works from a quiet, low effort delivery from start to finish with a repeatable 3/4 release. His arm works clean with a full swing and lighting arm speed to fire off a mid-90’s fastball and has shown he can go get more when he wants. His fastball shows plus run, matched with a wipeout slider that makes for a devastating combination. A future 70 grade pitch, his slider has firm (84-87) sweep with a ton of late bite. His third pitch is a firm changeup, thrown 85-87, featuring late dive and could end up being a weapon against left-handed hitters. He dabbled with a slower variation of his slider, which had more of a curve type break. The body and athlete still leave plenty of room to dream and project. Meyer has a chance to become a front-line starter with two 70 grade pitchers and some change to spare.
